DQM has just released the lookbook for their rad Holiday 2014 collabo collection with Vans. The simple beauty of the shoes speaks for itself but DQM’s description includes some fancy language that is actually pretty fun to read: “The DQM/Vans footwear collaboration takes design cues from the WWII HBT and gives them a twist. Using a unique enzyme process created specifically for this project, we wanted to make a subtle camo using the highs and lows that the enzyme process created. The reference for the colors are Jungle, Desert and Ocean. The eyelets have a saltwater patina finish and the shoes utilize a syped bottomplate, as a nod to Vans’ nautical past, and for the functionality of the tread on wet surfaces.” The Collection will only be available at DQM General in NYC and Boston and online. See the full lookbook shot in the Rockaways by Gerhard Stochl after the jump.

These sick new Vans Vault OG 36 LX’s may not be for everybody but for those with an appreciation for a slightly askew approach to a classic shoe, they’re perfect. Featuring alternating baby blue and navy blue side panels and purina red check pattern foxing they’ll match nothing and everything at the same damn time. Get them at The General. More looks after the jump.

Vans has been quietly revamping their OTW collection, bringing it up in quality and contruction and proof is in these supple looking Bedford’s. For a blacked out anytime shoe that you can dress up or down in plus skate, you can’t get much better. Available at DQM. More looks after the jump.

If you’re going to drop some money on boots this season, we recommend you go with these sick Vans Vault x Diemme Buffalo Boot LX’s. $350 may be pricey for a pair of Vans, but these are hand made in Italy and guaranteed to be the raddest boots you’ve ever owned. Get them now at The General. More looks after the jump.

Two buttery new archival Era’s just dropped as part of the Van Doren Collection, one in washed out camo and another in native multi-stripe. Is therever anything bad you can say about a pair of Era’s? Get them now at DQM. A closer look at each after the jump.

While all the shit you see on the news would lead you to believe that life in China is pretty much the opposite of life everywhere else, this rad teaser for Vans’ new collabo with Chinese skate brand Vagabond show that if you are living the skate life, you’re living the good life. Check out the shoes after the jump.

Although he seems to be pretty irrelevant to the youth, between Law & Order and his wife’s fat ass, Ice T has maintained an admirably long career. Suprisingly, his new two pack collab with Vans is pretty tight, especially the Chukka Deacon “S.” Check out more of the Chukka and the Sk8-Hi “S” after the jump. Get them now at Atlas.

Another super sick release from Vans are these all black Ballisstic Authentics made from ballistic nylon. These are on some Navy SEAL shit. Pick them up at the General New York. More looks after the jump.

Sometimes theres not much more you need out of life than a pair of black waxed canvas Vans Authentics. Double that for camo. Hit the jump for individual looks and find them online and finer shops like Atlas.
